What is the Peer Review Evaluation Panel?
The Peer Review Evaluation Panel (PREP) is comprised of three Boulder area residents with scientific knowledge in water resources and floodplain management. The PREP was established to review and evaluate the technical aspects of the SBC Study on behalf of the public interest and to offer an independent assessment to ensure the study meets generally accepted standards of engineering practice for flood hazard mapping. The PREP also advised the study team about how effectively the study results are presented to the public in order to ensure the greatest level of understanding for a non-technical audience.
